Hi Dawn,

    I think Judy's hit the nail on the head! 

    For the time, hassle & unpredictable results, 10 k gold sounds like
    the most reasonable way to go. 

    That way you don't have to worry about the piece turning green for
    the customer plus you've saved yourself a whole bunch of time. If
    needed, any other gold in the piece could be gold filled. 

Dave
